Frequently Asked Question
We’re here to support you every step of the way—whether you have a quick question, need detailed information, or just want to explore your options. Whatever you need, we’re ready to help.
1. What is the best floor scrubber for commercial use?
We recommend compact or walk-behind floor scrubbers for small to medium spaces, and ride-on scrubbers for large areas. Brands like Nilfisk, Tennant, and Duplex offer high-performing machines suited to commercial floors.
2. How often should I service a floor scrubber?
For regular use, we recommend servicing every 3 to 6 months. Preventative maintenance helps avoid breakdowns and extends the life of your scrubber.
3. Do robotic floor scrubbers actually work?
Yes. Robotic scrubbers like the FloorBotics range use sensors and mapping technology to clean large spaces efficiently. They’re ideal for hospitals, shopping centres, and warehouses needing daily cleans.
4. What’s the difference between a sweeper and a scrubber?
A floor sweeper collects dust and debris (like a vacuum), while a floor scrubber uses water, detergent, and pads or brushes to deep-clean hard floors. Some machines combine both functions.
5. Are robotic floor scrubbers worth it for small businesses?
If you clean daily or have a large open space, a robotic scrubber can save labour costs and improve consistency. For smaller areas, a manual compact scrubber may be more cost-effective.
6. Do you offer commercial floor sweeper repairs?
Yes, we repair and service most major brands of floor sweepers, including Tennant, Nilfisk, Hako, and more. Mobile service is available across Southeast Queensland.
7. Can I lease or rent a commercial floor scrubber?
Yes, we offer flexible machine hire options for floor scrubbers, sweepers, and robotic machines. Short and long-term rental available.
8. How much does a commercial scrubber or sweeper cost?
Prices start from around $3,000 for compact units and go up to $25,000+ for ride-ons and robotic models. We can recommend a machine that suits your space and budget.
9. What size floor scrubber do I need?
It depends on the size of the area and how often you clean. As a guide:
- Compact scrubbers: under 1,000 sqm
- Walk-behind: 1,000–3,000 sqm
- Ride-on: 3,000+ sqm
We can help match you with the right machine.
10. Do you offer robotic floor scrubber setup and training?
Yes. We provide on-site setup, programming, and operator training for all robotic units we sell or rent.
11. What’s the difference between a floor polisher and a burnisher?
A floor polisher (also called a low-speed buffer) is used for cleaning, scrubbing, and light polishing. A burnisher is a high-speed machine designed to produce a glossy, “wet-look” shine on sealed floors like vinyl or terrazzo. Burnishers are ideal for high-traffic commercial spaces
